Ok, so i've got a little asian mini bike. Yes it is a cheapy and i'm not saying its fantastic. Its a nice bike, and i like it. It was given to me by a good friend needing a few parts and a good home. Its an 06 Foxico 125. I beleive its the base model without any of the top performance parts. Either way i love it because its mine and i've got a bike to ride. Hopefully soon i'll get a pitpro or a motovert but for now i have what i have. It has an oil leak, and it seems to be coming out of the back left footpeg bolt under the engine. I've pulled the engine case off and it looked like it was coming out of the "main oil seal" behind the front sprocket so i've replaced it. But it still seems to leak. Its side stand is fairly low, and i've heard some stories about it being thrashed a lot when it was new, could this have anything to do with it? It seems to only leak when leaning on its side on the stand. Is there anything i can do to fix this? or is it something major? Any help would be appreciated.
 
No need to justify why u have a certain bike mate, urs is just as good as any of the other china crap that is around. Look after it, service it and it will be as good as most.

If you know where it is leaking from, replace the gasket and also seal it up with loctite gasket repair. Its a liquid sort of thing that u paste on. Works a treat on cars so cant see why it wouldnt work on a bike.

good luck
 
Thanks for your advice, i've got sealant around the engine cover so i don't see how it would be coming from the sprocket, but i'l find some of the locktite sealent we've got somewhere n out some on.
Once again, thanks :)
 
A few other places to check;

sprocket shaft seal
neutral plug oil seal
